Birthday Painting

This painting was my wife's birthday present for yesterday. Done by the very talented artist Jenny Birchall from Cornwall, I came up with a list of her favourite things and this was the brilliant end result. My wife was chuffed to bits about it and so were my daughters.

Jenny's work can be seen here and a here, there's some great paintings of St Ives with a Beatles theme to them. When I was in St. Ives in summer I spent ages in certain galleries studying them.

At the height of Madchester it was the place to be. If you are unaware of the Hacienda you can read more here. Or better still get this book by Joy Division/New Order/Revenge/Monaco bassist Peter Hook it's on my Christmas list.
